enNewsweek Contributor Agrees with Conservatives: PolitiFact Misleading on Ledbetter Casehttp://newsbusters.org/node/55963

PolitiFact has received a fair share of criticism from conservatives for their spin-heavy fact-checks. The liberal media, for the most part, has accordingly been dismissive of such conservative complaints. But now even The Daily Beast/Newsweek is joining in on the criticism, with contributor Megan McArdle joining conservatives in noting the fact-checker repeated repetition of a falsehood regarding the Lilly Ledbetter Supreme Court case.</p>

During&nbsp;<a href="http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/politics/july-dec12/foreignpolicy_09-25.html">the September 25 broadcast</a>&nbsp;of the PBS Newshour, anchor Gwen Ifill invited Council on Foreign Relations President Richard Haass and former U.S. Ambassador Nicholas Burns to discuss President Barack Obama&rsquo;s foreign policy and his recent address to the UN. Reporter Judy Woodruff also had a segment on the president speech. Yet none of the segments dealing with the address mentioned the fact that the Obama administration has expressed support for anti-blasphemy measures that are completely incongruous with the freedom of speech as protected by the U.S. Constitution.</p>

As <a href="http://newsbusters.org/category/people/rex-nutting">we at NewsBusters have noted</a>, the liberal media have done little to discredit Rex Nutting&#39;s erroneous analysis of federal spending under President Obama. Numerous conservative and libertarian critics have pointed out how fatally flawed Nutting&#39;s analysis, but we&#39;d like to recommend Hans Bader&#39;s post at Competitive Enterprise Institute&#39;s OpenMarket.org website, who takes on not only Nutting but left-wing <em>Forbes </em>columnist Rick <a href="http://newsbusters.org/blogs/ken-shepherd/2010/12/07/forbes-blogger-ungar-compares-gop-senators-hostage-takers-nazis">&quot;the House GOP are hostage-taking Nazis&quot;</a> Ungar, another disingenuous journalist, and one who has the benefit of an affiliation with a magazine published by a famous conservative.</p>
